But with the fear of HIV comes a lot of hatred towards LGBTQI people. The homophobia and jargon within the police force cause Göran Stanton to resign. Pell Uno Larsson is on holiday in Cairo and longs to meet other men. He uses a guidebook to find safe meeting places. It leads him to the sauna in a hotel. Steve Sjöquist thinks it is easier to be gay in Saudi Arabia, one of the world's most conservative countries where homosexuality is punishable by death, than at home in Sweden. He moves to the capital, Riyadh, in 1985 for work. Steve talks about the secret parties, sleeping on sofas to get home safely the next day and at the same time feeling freer than ever.
